@gapan Can you update the Portuguese/Portuguese(Portugal) translation of salix-installer again? A typo was corrected since the last update.

There MUST be a Live option. Some of us won't install it only to find out afterwards if there's a problem. Live is certainly the way to go.

Hi,
I can't see Salix OS on Distrowatch, and it's RC3 already.

Salix is there https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=salix and in the last few days it has risen a lot in the Distrowatch ranking but Distrowatch only shows the fisrt 100 "distros" of the last 6 months by default. Currently, Salix is at 102 position on the distrowatch popularity! Mostly due to the fact that salix was in a "dormant" state for a long time... which was never the case but anyway... Distrowatch ranking is worth what it's worth...

Does ibus need gtk+2 and pango?
I think it's weird if there is a program that requires both gtk+2 and gtk+3

Yes, slapt-get is not happy with empty repos. Same with slapt-src.

Yes, it does... sort of. The ibus package includes a library (plugin) that is loaded for supporting gtk+2 applications. That library needs gtk+2 and that's why it got picked up. But then again, if you don't have gtk+2 installed at all, the plugin is useless and it doesn't matter if it works or not as it wouldn't ever be loaded. So, I removed the dependency for gtk+2. Thanks!
